I have had great luck ordering photo items from Shutterfly. A few
days ago I created a print of a vacation photo to decorate my apartment
and noticed they were offering a special on photobooks. I started a
genealogy book a few months ago but never finished it. This sale renewed
my motivation!

I should have it in about a week and I'm very excited to see how it turned out. I'll share some of the pages one it arrives.

A few weeks ago I received a match notification from 23andMe about
another user who appeared to be a 1st/2nd cousin. I was intrigued by
this because I think I know who all of my 1st and 2nd cousins are, and I wasn't aware of anyone else who was delving into the family history.

This
evening I indirectly figured out who it was. I'm excited to see where
this goes because it sounds like there may be some interesting genetic
traits to compare!
